<br />Pro,ject SIl!ll!TlaI'y <br /> <br />General <br /> <br />The purpose of this study is to provide an economical and feasible <br />plan for rennovation of the municipal and industrial water collection, <br />treatment and distribution system for the town of Rico, designed for a <br />projected 40 year period. The limited income of the t(~mspeople thero-, <br />selves makes the financing of this project impossi.ble with conventional <br />loans. Since the need for improvement is imperative, the town must <br />seek a funding agency to relieve the present dilemma. <br />Present Situation <br /> <br />'.1ater Collection <br /> <br />Does the source of Rico's water, Silver Creek, provide an adequate <br />quality and quantity of potable water for the town's needs for the next <br />40 years? This question must be answered in full before any rec~~enda- <br />tions can be made for conveyance, storage or distribution of municipal <br /> <br />or indu.5t...-ial ",~ter to Rico. This study discusses in detail the ma.xi..rnum <br /> <br />and minimum flows in Silver Creek as well as the ,mter quality and water <br /> <br />rights of the town. After the determination of the suitability of <br /> <br /> <br />Silver Creek as a municipal ani industrial water source, the study goes <br /> <br />into details for a proposed water diversion structure whlch,must be de- <br /> <br />signed to withdraw water selectively from the stream without restriction <br /> <br />of flood flows. The design must be simple in operation and maintenance <br /> <br />because of the inaccessibility of the intake at times during the winter <br /> <br />months . <br /> <br />_ J - <br />
